Communication
1. Discussion Board Participation. One of the great advantages of an online course over a traditional correspondence course is the ability to communicate and share ideas. As led by administration you will be required to participate in a number of discussions on select topics. You should check the Discussion Board in the Blackboard course site frequently and participate in any active discussions. Successful participation in a course discussion typically includes the following:
• You post one new message of your own for any given topic, the week that it is being discussed.
• You read the messages posted by others and reply to at least one of them in a reasonable amount
of time or as otherwise instructed by your instructor.
• Your postings should be thorough and thoughtful. Just posting an “I agree/disagree with your comment” or an “I think the same” to someone else’s thoughts is not considered to be an adequate response.
2. E-mail. You will need to send e-mails to your instructor. Due to the large number of e-mail messages received by the instructor, it is very important that all e-mail messages you send meet the following criteria:
• The subject line must contain the course name. This lets the professor know which course you are sending a message about.
• You must include your full name somewhere in the message. It is not always possible to tell what a person’s name is from his or her e-mail address. Please remember to do this for all e-mails, not just the first one. If you do not include these things in the e-mail you send your instructor, he or she cannot promise that your message will be received in a timely manner—if at all.
Reading Assignments
One of the essential aspects of each course is the reading assignments. It is expected that you complete all the required reading by the date due (if specified) so that you are able to effectively participate in the online discussions and be able to grasp the concepts being taught in the lesson.
Papers and Assignments
Assignments must be submitted electronically, in a Microsoft Word-compatible file. Please submit your assignment according by e-mail, fax, or US mail).
Within the Microsoft Word document, your assignment must be in the following format:
